Their suggestions for fixing the problem are as follows:

- Visit the Lineup Adjustment Tool on the right side
- Create a New Lineup & Change to BEST TEAM OVR
- Deactivate Superstar players from your lineup
- Attempt to play a Solo Challenge game before making any adjustments to your lineup.
- If this was unsuccessful, try removing/swapping out your Team Visuals and Strategy Items and play again.
- A final suggestion is to try power cycling your Xbox, PlayStation, or PC & reboot your network to rule out any local connectivity problems.
If none of these solutions is successful, contact EA for extra advice and support, either on their website or via Twitter @EAHelp.
